Headphone Jack/Volume Control
To listen to an audio CD from the CD-ROM unit you may
insert a standard headphone cable into the headphone jack.
If there is a audio CD player utility installed on your PC,
you can listen to audio CDs directly from the CRX160E. The
software functions like a typical CD player, letting you
choose tracks to play, etc. The audio can be heard through
your PC’s speakers if you connect the audio out connector
of the CRX160E drive to the CD input of your sound card.
The volume control on the front panel controls headphone
volume only.

EIDE Connector
The CRX160E uses a standard 40-pin IDE connector to be
attached to an Enhanced IDE/ATAPI port on the
motherboard. See Chapter 3 which describes how to
connect your CRX160E to your PC.

Insert/Eject Button
Pressing on the eject button when the power is on will eject
the CD. Depending on the Software being used with the
CRX160E, this button may not appear operational. Some of
the software provided with the CRX160E will lock the tray
in so that the eject button will not eject the tray, for
example, during a write operation.
Emergency Eject Hole
In the event that a CD cannot be ejected with the Eject
Button and no software is controlling the drive, an
emergency eject operation will eject the CD tray. Insert a
small metal poker, such as an unbent paperclip into the
opening, until it presses against the manual eject
mechanism. You will feel the mechanism eject the CD tray.
Use this method only when the other method of ejecting a
CD, the Eject Button, is not working.
